Best thing is to clean the kernel with make mrproper before you patch

I'd say that it is really not necessary to do mrproper, anymore, unless you are changing the ARCH.

Hi,
I'm not new to linux at all but new compiling kernels, after a lot of reading i still have some question regarding the steps of patching my kernel. I have my kernel on /usr/src/linux do i need to make mrproper fisrt and than aply the patch or can i just patch on all the old files from my last compile kernel ? withou doing make mrproper & cleaning evrything ? right now i always clean the the source before patching because i don't know if i'm messing things if i don't do this.
The latest -ac patch <http://www.kernel.org/patchtypes/ac.html> to the stable Linux kernels is: *2.6.10-ac10 <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.6/2.6.10/patch-2.6.10-ac10.bz2>
